Martinez signed a one-year, $4 million contract with Chicago on Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Martinez compiled four goals, 17 points, 72 shots on net and 165 blocked shots in 55 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24. He can log over 19 minutes per game but will likely serve as a veteran depth defender for the Blackhawks in 2024-25.

Martinez notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild. Martinez sat out four games, presumably as a healthy scratch. With Alex Pietrangelo (illness) returning, Martinez joined him on the third pairing for Saturday's contest. Martinez has 17 points, 69 shots on net, 157 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 49 contests, but the Golden Knights have many capable options on defense, so he may not be an everyday player down the stretch.

Martinez (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic. Martinez appears to be ready to return to the lineup Sunday versus New Jersey following a four-game absence. He has compiled four goals, 16 points, 67 shots on net and 152 blocked shots in 45 contests this campaign.

Martinez, who was put on injured reserve Wednesday, has undergone a lower-body procedure that will keep him "out of the lineup short term," GM Kelly McCrimmon told Jesse Granger of The Athletic on Friday. Martinez has four goals, 16 points and 152 blocks in 45 appearances this season. He's likely to serve in a bottom-four capacity once he's healthy, but Martinez probably won't have much of a role on the power play.

Martinez (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. The specific nature of Martinez's injury is a mystery, but he'll miss Vegas' next two games at a minimum now that he's on IR. With Martinez, who's picked up 16 points and 152 blocks through 45 contests this campaign, on the shelf, look for Ben Hutton or Daniil Miromanov to draw into the lineup versus Vancouver on Thursday.
